I have a bit of sadness mixed in with happiness. Typical day for me. The future looks bright, but the time until launch seems like it's taking forever.

Unfortunately I have one. I'm on day 3. No change. Ack. I am just wrung out. Does letting my kids watch Beyonce videos on YouTube count as quality time? lol...

The rain washed my car.
I just finished a big ol' farm-hand breakfast.
The sun is shining.
The quick-crete set right.
My kitchen is clean.
I have a big ass cup of dark roast.

I feel pretty righteous.

I'll 2nd the antibiotics possibility. I've had good luck with Zinc and D3 knocking down stuff like that also. But the last several months I've been making fresh juice drinks with my juicer and I haven't had a viral or bacterial caused sickness ever while I've been drinking these daily for lunch. One of them includes fresh garlic and chili/jalapeno peppers among other veggies. Tastes awful but they are both powerful natural anti viral/antibiotics that work. Also, the virus and bacteria are less likely to become immune to these than synthetic drugs. Since my cancer I've been trying to eat a lot better than I used to as many foods we take for granted help the cancers appear and grow and many better foods have anti-oxidants and enzymes that help make them go away or slow down.

I would be afraid of morphine, too.

And right now, I'm just the opposite! My poor liver... I've been downing Sudafed, aspirin, Tylenol, ibuprofen, naproxen sodium.... Whatever I can think of to get my ear to clear. (It's hard to be a good mom when you're dizzy and nauseated.) I have drawn the line at the cough syrup with codeine, though. Only at night when l'uomo_virtuoso is home to spot me. (Because it's even harder to be a good mom when you're dizzy and asleep!) And, sadly, not a single one of those meds is solving the problem. Maybe the world will sound like this in my left ear forever...?

I hope you feel better soon. For me this will be an ongoing thing as the surgeon said if they do surgery to remove the adhesion the new surgery is likely to produce a new adhesion that could be even worse so he recommends just living with it. They gave me morphine patches but I refuse to use them because of the possible addiction and other problems they can eventually cause. I am one of those people that won't take any drugs unless I am forced to do so.

It's good to be reminded now and then that no matter how intimately bad things seem in our own lives at any given moment, there's pretty much always someone who's got it a whole lot worse.

You make me feel guilty for feeling sorry for myself and my wretched ear. I hope I feel better soon, but I definitely hope you feel better soon!

thanks for making me feel a little less bad.

hope you feel better.

Having a flareup of my chronic pain from the cancer surgery. My side and back always hurt because of nerve damage from the surgery and a huge adhesion in my lower right lung but its usually bearable. Sometimes like today I feel like I've been whacked with a baseball bat. Kind of a broken rib sort of pain. Guess I won't be doing much of anything today...

  thanks, y'allz...yeah, i did need it...stressful week.....next week will be even tougher....gott keep myself strong for schlabby...
